Sanur to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

OG

Terrible company. We were supposed to depart for Nusa Penida from Sanur Port at 9:00 AM, but we only boarded at 9:05 and didn’t even leave the port until 9:25. We also chose this company because it was advertised as the fastest option, with a crossing time of around 25 minutes. However, we arrived in Nusa Penida at 10:15 AM, meaning the crossing actually took 50 minutes. And the staff… whether during check-in or on the boat, they were not friendly at all. Overall, a complete rip-off. I strongly recommend avoiding this company. The boat is not air-conditioned and is far from comfortable.

We booked a trip at 9.30. We arrived at the check in Office at 9.25 and they told me that I couldn’t do the check in as the boarding was already closed. They were very kind to switch our ticket to the next one at 11.00, for free. However we noticed that this boat completed the boarding at 11.30, 30 mins after the expected time! This means that we would have made it at 9.30 as well! But they made us wait 1.30h more for the next boat. Moreover it is not clear that the time reported on the ticket is not the time of departure but the time of the boarding!

The trip was terrible. The boat was hot inside. I was literally sweating the whole way from Sanur port to Nusa Penida. And the boat didn’t leave on time.

It was a nice and clean boat. The boat sat well on the water and there was absolutely no rocking. The staff could be a bit friendlier to the passengers. And on-board sales must not be pushy.

We travelled from Sanur to Nusa Penida and had a stop at Nusa Lemborgan. We had to stay in the boat until the other guests with a smaller boat to the coast arrive- the smaller boat had to drive 3times until everyone was at the coast. We waited 1 hour in a shaky boat so I got see sick .. that was unpleasant …

It may depend on the type of the ship – fast or slow, the route – direct or calling to other piers enroute, and the weather conditions – rains and winds are not the best friends for ferries. Do expect delays or trip cancellations if the weather is stormy or your travel falls on off-season or shoulder season.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
